Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

I like the rolling updates, to be honest. Endeavour has been a wonderful and simple experience. Aside from some NVIDIA issues with Wayland it has been a blast.

Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

Dota is not casual at all, it's quite competitive. It's the reason the communication is so toxic.

Couch co-op games are very nice but in my personal experience friends don't make a habit of gathering to play them. It's a infrequent ocasion, online gaming is much much easier. Boardgames are a cooler experience if you're gonna have people frequently at your place.

Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly improve your chances of winning... More often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

Why Signal over Jabber/XMPP?

跳过

pathief @lemmy.world 2个月前

They can say the same about me, right? I have so many communication apps on my phone, why do I draw the line on Facebook Messenger?

Most likely you're the only person they know on Signal and it makes more sense to them that you move to Facebook rather than moving their entire friend-sphere into Signal.

Why Signal over Jabber/XMPP?

First of all normie not an insult or a derogatory term. The term "normies" is often used in many niche communities to refer to someone outside the community. It has nothing to do with being smart, privileged or experienced. It means more like "the average user" or "the typical person". Example: a person in the boardgaming community may refer to you as a normie, not because you're dumb but because you don't play hobby boardgames (check out Brass: Birmingham, what a game).

The problem isn't about comprehending the problem, most people understand that Facebook is selling their data. They just don't care. They would rather have their data sold than to have the trouble to move to yet another communication app. WhatsApp is working just fine, Facebook is sparking joy. They don't care.

"Normies won't do X" is a perfectly acceptable way to express that the hurdles are too high for the average user. The average user wants a sleek UI, a user friendly experience and most of all they want to be in the place everyone is already at. The average Joe doesn't want to be the first guy on Simple X, they actually really want the hassle free platform everyone is already at.

Also, the next great communication app is constantly changing. It used to be IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Matrix, Simple X, Session. I'm sorry to say that the average person is not willing to migrate that often. Facebook works, their friends are already there, they stick to it. This isn't elitism, it's just stating what I see.

It's not elitist, it's realist. They don't want to install Signal just as much as I don't want to install Facebook messenger.

Yes you can nag people but it will more often than not have the same effect as when people try to convince me to install Facebook messenger.

If the worst part about Signal is having a third party send you an SMS to confirm your phone number then that's amazing.

ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another?

I used to have Mullvad and switched to Proton because I use pretty much their entire suite...

If you don't need port forwarding, I think Mullvad is superior in everything. Such a great service, highly recommend it.

Is the video catalog larger for paid customers?

I searched for my topics of interest and hobbies but barely got any hit.

Sucks they don't have a trial period.

AutoHotKey Alternative on Wayland

跳过

pathief @lemmy.world 3个月前

If you want to create keyboard layouts, keyd is very good for that. You can create several keyboard layers and use whatever key you want as a modifier.

I use it to mimic the windows "US International with dead keys" layout that I've grown used to but it can do so much more.

Playing the Final Fantasy 7 rebirth for a while now. I'm not really enjoying it, they just don't make good final fantasy games anymore.

The game plays at solid 30 fps but the graphics can become severely blurred at times.

When you haven't told anyone you use Linux for a while

跳过

pathief @lemmy.world 4个月前

Gaming on linux is surprisingly good right now. Other than those games that require kernel level anti-cheats, most games work really well.

.... But in case it wasn't clear, the user suggesting linux from scratch is joking. Use Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you're starting your linux journey. Try it on a virtual machine, for instance.

Can't we do anything as google is killing AOSP and custom ROMS

Normie is not an insult or derogatory. It just means "normal person", who is usually not very tech savy.

Most Normies don't care about privacy. They know, accept and are ok with their data being collected and sold in "free" services.

Normies don't care about that. They care about WhatsApp, Instagram and tiktoks.

Sure but what's a viable alternative for normies? It would be simple if a viable alternative existed. For normies, I reiterate.

What are some resources for learning Linux in a structured manner?

跳过

pathief @lemmy.world 4个月前

You can ask the receptionist “Where is the Linux section?”, walk up to it and there it is. And you can grab a book and skim through it to see whether it suits you.

You can also go to google, ask "How linux works" and skim through the results.

I'm not saying libraries are bad, they're obviously amazing (and yes, I've been to libraries lol). However, in these sort of questions OP is usually looking for personal recommendations, something that you already read, heard about or found interesting to share. Yes library has books, but which book would you personally recommend OP to read? Which one do you like the best and why?
